The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating

The U.N. weather agency is reporting that 2023 was the driest year in more than three decades for the world's rivers, as the record-hot year underpinned a drying up of water flows and contributed to prolonged droughts in some places.

“We’re creating a world where these ice sheets are going to melt.”

Scientists believe a 100-kilometre-long curtain moored to the bed of the Amundsen Sea in Antarctica could prevent catastrophic flooding elsewhere.

In Alaska and British Columbia, climate change may open new rivers to fish – and to gold mines.

The United Nations weather agency is reporting that glaciers shrank more than ever from 2011 and 2020 and the Antarctic ice sheet lost 75 percent more compared to the previous ten years, as it released its latest stark report about the fallout on the planet from climate change.

New research suggests that ancient polar bear populations shrank as sea ice dwindled, adding weight to concerns about the predator's future as climate change melts the Arctic.

Experts say that even if the world stopped emitting greenhouse gases tomorrow, ocean levels would continue to rise.

Climate crisis may explain fights as disappearing ice fuels interspecies competition — with goats nearly always winning.

Switzerland’s 1,400 glaciers have lost more than half their total volume since the early 1930s, a new study has found, and researchers say the ice retreat is accelerating at a time of growing concerns about climate change.

Italy was enduring a prolonged heat wave before a massive piece of Alpine glacier broke off and killed hikers on Sunday, July 3, 2022, and experts say climate change will make those hot, destabilizing conditions more common.

The world is changing and all governments must fight the climate crisis and ensure economic development benefits everyone, including Indigenous Peoples, Canada's prime minister said on Monday, June 6, 2022, as Chile pushes ahead with reforms to its mining sector.

A retreating glacier in a remote British Columbia valley caused a massive landslide that crested a 100-metre-tall tsunami, wiped out kilometres of salmon habitat and was detected as far away as Australia, a study says.

While conducting research in Greenland, ice scientist Twila Moon was struck this summer by what climate change has doomed Earth to lose and what could still be saved.

A sizzling heat wave during the last week of June in Western Canada left little unsinged, including fragile glaciers that are already melting at an accelerated pace, experts say.
